LeQuint Allen is Back

[Finwad32]

I’m even more outraged these people must be stupid

Reading the Syr.Com article this morning made me feel terrible. I can only imagine how those involved feel.

Here’s the money quote

Any such process that does not consider self defense and punishes the person who defended himself while not punishing the initial aggressor seems arbitrary and woefully insufficient.

WTAF???!!!!

Can anybody tell us WHY the aggressor has NOT been charged??
That is utterly insane.

Everybody has a right to self-defense.
Even football players.

This gets worse and worse for the University by the minute.

Court documents reviewed by syracuse.com show a more complete picture of the incident and process that resulted in Allen’s suspension.

And what happened to the other student?

Permanent expulsion?

Gun charges?

Or did OCS give him milk and cookies and read him a bed time story?

If it looks like …. And it smells like …. It’s probably ….

Great article in the PS today. Lots of detail. It makes the University look bad. Allen is the only person in this case that makes any sense. This is an embarrassment for the University. If they don’t come to a settlement before the court date, they are out of their minds. I’m starting to wonder if this incident had anything to do with Chestnut going into the portal. For any student to be treated this way is just plain wrong.

Chestnut’s another rabbit hole, but he didn’t just leave because of nil.

WT F, SU is a total clown show. The all student board and appeals committee is nuts.

My daughter is a rising senior, and will start applying to colleges in August. SU was on the list. It is absolutely OFF the list now. She will not apply and never will. .

 

[DocFlanders]

BTW, whether LA gets reinstated or not, this will having lasting damage on recruiting. This is bad, who wants to sign up to get railroaded at SU when you have other legit options. Real bad, but it's the 'Syracuse Way' evidently.

 

[Cuse12]

Wow. The powers at be need to step up to the dang plate and revamp this entire OCS process. This is absolutely insane.

 

[Bulldog04]

Punished for not calling the cops? This has to be a joke. Telling you, some people just have it out for athletes when they have the chance

 

[oldpinepoint]

LA tried to do the right thing and was railroaded by the university. Nice life lessons SU

 

[Goin' Deep]

The more one reads, the more you realize Allen got "hosed".
In this instance, OCS= a steaming pile of excrement...
Yeah, let's suspend this guy after HE GETS PUNCHED in the head twice and his father passes away.

SU has made a number of bad decisions lately. It’s very frustrating as a fan and alum.

Not only that, it sounds like the aggressor and others went to LA's place and assaulted another there? Or did I misread that?

 

[Newhouser]

I like McAllister but man that article should have just said - "hey go read syracuse.com".

or have never been to a party in their entire life.

 

[DocFlanders]

I would like to know what the makeup of the student board and appeals committee that wields such power is...wonder if any athlete's are represented on it...

 

[Willy75]

I'm worried pride and ego will override common sense if push comes to shove and this gets upheld.

Absolutely .There are administrator egos and reputations to protect here.

Allen explained he acted in self-defense but was told the university can not take into account the actions of another student, Allen wrote in an affidavit.

SU should be embarrassed. So if a fellow student stabs someone that person should sit back and take it or just try and run to call campus safety? Who the hell signed off on this??

Zero charges and zero punishment

This is pretty dumb if all kid had was a chipped tooth, Im sure cuse football players arent totally innocent but two semesters, gtfoh

This is a bad lesson to teach students as this is not how real life works...idiots.

Wow here is more what goes on:

Syracuse punishes student for asking man at party if he’s a Canadian sex offender

She’d heard rumors that the guy at the party had a history of problematic behavior toward women. So Syracuse University freshman Samantha Jones went right up to him and asked: Was he a registered sex offender?

www.thefire.org

What on earth did I just read. This is outrageous. Academia people have lost their minds, they live in such a bubble.

I Wonder how this ended. Did anyone come to their senses with this girl?

Sounds more and more like the kind of case FIRE would take. But lawsuits take time. Kid needs a decision NOW.
